High-shear granulators are specialized machines used in the pharmaceutical and food industries to create granules from powders. They work by mixing powders with a liquid binder at high speeds, which helps to form larger particles. This process improves the flow and compressibility of the material, making it easier to handle and process. These machines typically consist of a mixing chamber, a high-speed impeller, and a chopper. The impeller rapidly blends the ingredients, while the chopper breaks up any large clumps. High-shear granulators are essential for producing uniform granules, which are crucial for consistent product quality in applications involving tablets and capsules.
